No water over the spillway, but close. I suppose the 12" pipe can handle a lot of water, we have yet to see any water go over my emergency spillway.
Gator, thanks for the report � I am very interested in any reports of success and failure of any siphon spillway systems during this record rainfall period.
In our N. E. Texas area we have been spared the record rainfall that is prevalent west of I-35, but have had a total of 6+ inches the past few days.
So far our siphon system is handling the rising water very well.
